In this episode of From Failure to Launch, Keira sits down with Gabriela Rocha, cofounder of Laboratoria, to explore her winding journey across continents, languages, and industries — and how she’s helping reshape the future of tech for women across Latin America.

Why she never had a "5-year plan" — and why that’s okay
-
Building Laboratoria from the ground up
-
Her belief in learning by doing and student-centered education
-
Fresh research on gender disparity in tech across Latin America
-
Maternity penalties, equal pay, and the systems that still need to evolve
